Have Mosquitoes Become A Menace In Your Home? 4 Pro Ways To Getting Rid Of Them

Posted on

Most people put up with the mosquito menace because they do not know how to handle or exterminate them. However, these persistent little biters sometimes carry certain types of fevers that can have you hospitalized for days. Therefore, it would be in your best interest to exterminate them immediately after you notice that you have the menace in your home. Pest control experts have countless options in eliminating the pests from the house. Here are four ways to get rid of mosquitoes quickly. 

Use of Chemical Repellents

Traditional chemical repellents are one of the most effective ways to keep mosquitoes from biting you. When you use the repellent properly, you will experience less stress over mosquitoes. The only challenge is that you have to apply it daily to stop the bites. The effects of some repellents can last up to half a day, which makes them a very effective way to handle mosquitoes. However, do not use repellent ointments on infant skin. 

Use of Mosquito Netting

Mosquito netting is another effective way to avoid bites. You can have one installed around the bed or use them as a window covering. You drape the net around the bed when sleeping, and it creates a barrier that mosquitoes cannot get through. You can also choose to have treated nets as part of your window treatment plan. The nets are effective as long as you are sleeping inside.

The Use of Mosquito Traps

There are several types of do-it-yourself mosquito traps for the homeowner. The most common one is a mixture of boiled sugar and dry yeast. You can mix the two and put them in a container, then place them outside your home. The mosquitoes get attracted to the sugar and then stick to the solution. You can replace the solution periodically. 

Clearing the Yards

Mosquitoes thrive in places where there are bushes and water. They lay their eggs in the stagnant water and hide in the bushes. Also, you should eliminate all standing water in your yard if you want it to be free of bugs. Also, prune your yard as it keeps them away.

These are simple and effective ways to get rid of mosquitoes in the home. You can permanently eliminate the problem by letting an exterminator handle it for you. They will help you keep your home and yard mosquito-free.
